Uncovering Diaphragm Cramp in SIDS and Other Sudden Unexpected Deaths.
Diagnostics (Basel)
October 2024

The diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration. Here, we disclose a fascinating patient's perspective that led, by clinical reasoning alone, to a novel mechanism of spontaneous respiratory arrests termed diaphragm cramp-contracture (DCC). Although the 7-year-old boy survived its paroxysmal nocturnal "bearhug pain apnea" episodes, essentially by breathing out to breathe in, DCC could cause sudden unexpected deaths in children, especially infants.

June 2024
Department of Cardiology, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Türkiye.
Background: Superior vena cava (SVC) is atrial fibrillation (AF)'s most common non-pulmonary vein (PV) foci. Studies reported conflictory results when SVC isolation (SVCi) was combined with PVi and long-term outcomes were lacking. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of empirical SVCi as an adjunct to cryoballoon-based PV isolation (PVi) in persistent AF ablation.
